Chapter 52Sandra enters the scene, seemingly bewildered by the situation at hand. "What are you both doing here?" she mumbles. Ethan signals to Samuel to lower the gun, and Sandra, her curiosity piqued, inquires, "Who is this?" referring to Samuel."I'm a friend of your boyfriend, my name is Samuel," he introduces himself.Sandra immediately corrects the assumption, stating firmly, "Samuel, he is not my boyfriend." She then turns her attention to Mr. Boyd and asks, "What are you going to do with him?""We want to kill him," Ethan says nonchalantly.Sandra's jaw drops in disbelief. "According to the system... but this guy was supposed to die," Ethan explains, displaying the ominous message. He proceeds to question Mr.Boyd, "Why are you killing people?"Mr. Boyd issues a dire warning, "You'd better let me go, or they'll start killing people if I don't give them orders within the next 15 minutes.""Really? Okay, then let's see," Samuel interjects, taking the phone and dialing the se

Derek and Anne sit in a dimly lit corner of the old, rundown cafe, their eyes locked in an intense exchange. Derek breaks the silence, a hint of concern in his voice, "How do you turn out like this? The Anne I know would never hurt an innocent soul."Anne's gaze remains unwavering as she responds, "Because that's the only way to survive in this world, Derek."Derek runs a hand through his disheveled hair, a contemplative look on his face, "Let's put a stop to all of this. Let's escape, go somewhere far away, and start afresh."Anne scoffs and she slams her hand on the rickety table before her, "You mean I should abandon my quest for vengeance and run away?"Derek leans in, his eyes pleading with her, "Anne, this isn't running away. It's about starting anew, leaving behind the past's pain and anger."Anne's voice drips with anger, "I must seek revenge for what they did to our parents. Do you have any idea how long I've searched for them? Now I finally know who they are, and you're tell

Chapter 56The sharp crack of a bullet pierces the air, and in an instant, pain shoots through Ethan's leg as the bullet finds its mark. He clutches his injured limb, feeling the bone dislocate as he limps towards his waiting car.Gritting his teeth, he reaches the driver's seat and fumbles for the gear shift."Hugh," he groans through clenched teeth, trying to maintain focus. The engine roars to life, and he speeds away from the scene, the pain pulsating with each beat of his heart.Minutes pass, and he finally arrives at his home. With trembling hands, he attempts to patch himself up, but his makeshift first-aid efforts prove ineffective as the blood continues to gush from the wound. Desperation takes hold, and he systematically dials Samuel's number."What happened?" Samuel's voice crackles through the phone.Ethan winces as he replies, "Just come here!"He collapses onto his sofa, gasping for air, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. It feels like an eternity, but eventually

A man in a sleek black suit approaches Feifei and Derek, causing Derek to grow anxious, wondering what's amiss. "Ma'am, we've been looking for you," the suited man says, respectfully bowing."I told you not to look for me," Feifei snaps in response."The Hood is waiting for you," he insists."Go. I'll come on my own," Feifei instructs, and then he asks, "Are you here because of him?".With a protective gesture, she covers Derek, saying, "Stay away from him if you don't want me to put a skrull on you."The man in the black suit bows again before walking away. Derek, puzzled, inquires, "Who... is that?""One of my subordinates," Feifei answers, rolling her eyes. "Can we please go?" Derek nods slowly as they make their way.*****"what are you doing, Ethan. You have to carry out the mission," Samuel urges with determination."I'd rather go poor than kill my uncle," Ethan retorts, his resolve unwavering.Samuel lets out a sigh. "Do you think it will end with you just getting poor? You'll

Fortunately, all the employees have made it out safely, except for Derek and Samuel, who are still inside the burning structure.Derek approaches Jason, a witness, and asks, "Hey, Jason, what happened?"Jason mutters, "It happened in a sudden, we don't know."They wait anxiously, and after a few minutes, the firefighters arrive, and onlookers are capturing and live-streaming the catastrophic event.****Ariana rushes into the sitting room where the entire family is present.
